Spanish Pilot Wing?

[Scott]

I was surfing some dealer web sites and came across this wing. It looks like a metal version of the bevo wing worn by Legion Condor vets in period photos. Any thoughts on the authenticity of this odd wing?

Thanks!

Here's the Bevo (or Bevo-style) wing I'm referring to...

Scott they came in both cloth and metal versions and there are photos of the Legionairres wearing both types. There is also known to be at least one German made type metal one as well. The Winkler one looks very crude to me, but I hope tp learn more as perhaps Antonio and Panzerpioneer may shed some light on these for us.

Best, Sal

Thanks Sal. Indeed, this one looks like something from a cerial box. However, it's resemblance to the cloth wing above is close enough to make me curious about it...

It looks like a made up cross between a Republican wing and a Nationalist wing. The fat propeller blades don't fit with the crown. Both examples from Bob Schwartz's site.

Interesting - it does favor the lower of the two wings you posted.
